So whats with the special map tiles? i.e. the abandoned mine, ancient forest, etc. It appears that you cant settle on them since they have no resource value.

Are they just for looks or are they (going to be) used later in the game?

Used later in the game... Or rather, http://forum.illyriad.co.uk/couple-of-suggestions_topic37_post814.html#814%20 - later this week :)

I saw the question asked before about the special map tiles, and the answer "caravans". So the only way to interact with these special map tiles (atm) is if a caravan actually crosses over it while doing something else?

Forgive me if this has been answered elsewhere, I didn't see it (and why can't I send my caravans out to grab the stuffs near me without being on a trade mission already?!).

Thanks

You will be able to interact with these squares directly; also hold them with armies.

We are just finishing up and testing atm. So should be in game very soon.

On a related note: Will inactive players be "de-seeded"? Or are they going to become just another resource for the violent and unscrupulous?

We've noticed this issue before, and considering where he's from, I don't know how ANYTHING could put him off his feed... Ouch

They will eventually be de-seeded and new players will take their place. We will also be adding a "player holiday" flag for those periods when you will be offline for extended periods of time.

'player holiday' flag - great, as long as that doesnt signal = LC - send burglars.

seriously its an important idea and i'd be interested in the mechanics.

Think it's one to take over to the Suggestions area before we go too far on it, but current thinking is that:

You can choose to take a Player Holiday of up to 14 days at a time
This will cost Prestige to put in place
Your troops abroad (Occupying, reinforcing) will remain where they are and be fully interactive from other players, and your trade offers/orders will fill as usual
You Cities will be invulnerable (as New Player Protection) to new attacks
You cannot declare a Player Holiday if you have any current outbound hostile actions against another player, or hostile actions in effect (Blockade, Siege)
Player Holidays will not make any difference to any current, inbound, hostile actions
If you log in to your account at any time before the player holiday ends, the protection ends
There will be a player holiday cooldown of X weeks/months before you can declare a Player Holiday again

But don't discuss this here please - save your replies for when we open the thread in the suggestions area...!

EDIT: We're still undecided as to whether resource production goes into suspended animation during Player Holidays... and this will be another area for discussion
